    So I knew a woman who got divorced and got a big payment and became a drum making shaman who had the demeanor and speech of a valley girl build her artistic shamanic dream home in a destination spot.

    The home was hand crafted out of sandbags and barbed wire. It was supposed to take a year but took 7. When it was done it was too hot and too cold and uncomfortable to live in. It was so bad that the building department told her it was a mistake.

    She never had any dream catchers around and now that I think about it, one could have probably saved her from that mess.

      Yeah, a dream catcher should have caught that and snuffed it out when it was still just a daydream.

        Sounds like a “rammed earth” home, and it also sounds like it wasn’t done very well. Taking 7 yrs is pretty nuts, as its supposed to be a “rapid” building technique.

        The 1ft+ thick walls should keep it pretty even temperature wise. It’s one of its biggest pros, besides being literally dirt cheap.
